This is a guide to Czech design, and the Czech lifestyle. Did you know that James
Bond once flew a Czech L 39 Albatross jet? And that the word ‘robot’ is of Czech
origin? Do you wear contact lenses? They’re another Czech invention. Only in
the Czech Republic can you find Cubist architecture, and so many famous glass
artists. Škoda, Baťa, Eva Herzigová, Tatra, Semtex, Laterna Magica and Jawa
– over the last one hundred years, the Czechs have given the world all that and
more.
